It's New Years. Balls will be dropped. Kisses will be kissed. Bubbly will be drunkdrankdrunkendranked consumed. But that's all normal. This year there's something different: a message from Mars, apparently.

Will you be in @timessquarenyc for New Year's Eve? Look for a special message from Mars on the giant Toshiba screens.

Will it be about aliens? Probably not. Will it be Curiosity mocking Time Square revelers about how much better it is to be on Mars as opposed to in that throbbing mass of humans? Maybe that's just slightly more likely. Keep your eye on the ball and you're sure to find out. Hopefully it's something fun. [Twitter]
